You all know this one right? Hell, some of you claim that the entirety of the national debt is Obama's doing. But, we will go a little lower and hit
the claim that gets repeated so often that Obama Doubled the Deficit.

This was a favorite of the Mitt Romney campaign. Throughout 2012, Romney repeatedly said, “The president promised to cut the deficit in half.
He’s doubled it!” No. No he hasn’t. First of all, this line depends entirely on voters not understanding the difference between the deficit and
the debt. See previous “simpleton” remarks. Indeed, the president has absolutely cut the deficit by way more than half in his first five years.
When he took office, the deficit for 2009 was projected to be $1.4 trillion. The deficit at the end of 2014 will be $514 billion, just three percent
of GDP. That’s a nearly one trillion dollar reduction in five years. Not only that, but the administration boasts the lowest year-over-year increase
in government spending since Truman, and it’ll be one of just three administrations in the last 50 years that will have ended with a lower deficit
than when it began. The last Republican do leave the White House with the same record was Eisenhower.

ATS conservatives LOVE this one. Every time that the temperature is just a little lower than normal, they point to Al Gore and say in a loud voice
that usually precedes an overly tight inappropriate hug SEE! Man made climate change is a hoax! (then they drool a little and poop themselves)

According to a clearly liberal agency called “NASA,” a full 97 percent of scientists
with specific expertise in climate science agree that climate change is real and humans are causing it. We shouldn’t really have to say anything
else. Of course if you’re Lloyd Christmas from Dumb & Dumber, and “one-in-a-million” means “there’s a chance,” then the three percent of
scientists who aren’t sure about climate change obviously indicates that it’s a hoax.

Cold Weather Disproves Climate Change

Second in our trifecta of climate change myths is an annual favorite. Every time it snows, you know the drill. Whenever there’s a snow storm
everyone from Matt Drudge to Rush Limbaugh suddenly achieves nipple erections hard enough to cut glass. And out comes the myth that
climate change can’t
possibly be real because it’s snowing somewhere. What they fail to explain to their disciples is that New York City or Minnesota or Washington
D.C. isn’t, you know, the globe. Climate scientists base their global warming observations on global temperature averages. So while it might be
snowing outside Sean Hannity’s house, average temperatures year-over-year are growing progressively higher.

Tax Cuts Do More To Stimulate The Economy Than Food Stamps And Unemployment Benefits.

–But every dollar spent on rolling tax rates back to Bush-era levels only creates $.32 in economic growth — that’s a 68-cent loss on
investment.

Here's one for the gun lovers:

Cars Kill A Lot Of People And No One Wants To Ban Them Like Guns!

nlike firearms, cars aren’t explicitly designed to kill or wound living beings (humans, animals, etc). They’re designed to move you from one
place to another. Yet unlike firearms, cars and drivers are heavily regulated by the government, from emissions standards to annual inspections to
safety features, and so forth. You can’t legally drive a car that doesn’t feature seatbelts, or a car that spews too much exhaust into the air.
You have to take both a written and a behind-the-wheel test to get a license to operate a car. You often have to renew that license at regular
intervals and, if you’re older, you have to prove that you’re physically capable of driving a car. You can’t drive a car while drinking alcohol
or impaired by other chemicals. There are thousands of police officers patrolling our roads and, as most of us have experienced at one time or
another, they will penalize or arrest you for improper handling of a car – with literally hundreds of laws to abide, and considerable penalties,
ranging from fines to imprisonment to the government stripping you of your right to drive a car at all. So if the NRA and its supporters are going to
keep using this car analogy, then let’s talk about regulating guns and gun owners the same way we regulate cars and drivers.

Admittedly, there are so many Obamacare myths to choose from: death panels, IRS goon squads raiding homes, it’s a “job killing” law, it’s
a “government takeover,” etc. It’s all a pile of hooey and definitely worth mentioning here. But this lie about emergency contraception coverage
is so insidious that it even managed fool some liberals. Contrary to lawsuits by various religious businesses and organizations, the various forms of
emergency contraception covered by the law do not, in fact, block implantation of a fertilized egg. If these medications were indeed abortifacients,
they wouldn’t be covered because it’s illegal for the government to do so. But they’re not abortifacients, so they’re covered. Simply put:
while some emergency contraception blocks implantation, the emergency contraception that’s covered in the law blocks ovulation — not implantation.
Of course that won’t stop the lawsuits or likely factor into the opinions of perhaps five Supreme Court justices when the first major Obamacare
contraception decision drops this Summer.

Obamaphones!

Okay, just stop it with this. No, the Obama campaign wasn’t handing out free phones in exchange for votes. However, there’s definitely a
program that offers low-cost telephones to citizens who can’t afford one. The truth is
the Lifeline program has been around since 1984 when, that’s right, Ronald Reagan helped to create it. In 1996, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) set up a non-profit outfit called the Universal Service Administrative Company, which receives financial backing via the Universal
Service Fund. According to its website, money for the program
is contributed entirely by “long distance companies, local telephone companies, wireless telephone companies, paging companies, and payphone
providers,” and none of the funding comes from taxpayers via the federal government. It’s all privately donated money.

This is so dumb, it easily ranks as the most ridiculous climate change lie. Yes, more ridiculous than the blizzard thing. It’s truly astonishing
that anyone with half-a-brain actually believes it. Speaking of half-a-brain, here are some prime offenders:

“Now I know there is also a movement to say that carbon dioxide should be guided or should be managed by the Environmental Protection Agency. I
disagree with that. I exhale carbon dioxide. I don’t want those guys following me around with a meter to see if I’m breathing too hard.”

The stupidity is, pardon the pun, breathtaking. On the surface, this “exhaling” silliness sounds like it might be true — if you’re really into
uneducated, simplistic explanations for very complex topics. Not only does human breathing not even make
the list of greenhouse gases but, chiefly, the ecosystem wasn’t designed to
scrub out unprecedented levels of CO2 released by the burning of fossil fuels. Therefore all of that excessive CO2 is just lingering in the
atmosphere, trapping heat and scrambling our weather patterns.

Voter Fraud Is A Serious Issue That Requires Strict New Voter ID Laws.

Nope. Not even close. Once again, this falls into the Lloyd Christmas category. Successful prosecutions of voter fraud cases barely amount to one
one-hundredth of one percent of total votes cast in a single general election. In Ohio, for example, Secretary of State Jon Husted ballyhooed his war
against fraud by nabbing a whopping 20 potential cases. 20 out of nearly six million votes cast in that state in 2012. The Bush Justice Department
found that there were as few as 80 successful prosecutions of voter fraud cases out of hundreds of millions of votes cast since 2000. For this ratio
of possible-fraud-to-votes-cast we’re told we need laws that make it more difficult to vote. By the way, some Republicans came right out and said
it: this is all aboutelectingRepublicans.

That’s it. It’s of course foolish to think the Republicans will drop these lies and myths any time soon. But as long as various Republicans
continue to repeat these transparently obvious falsehoods, they should expect that the rest of us will continue to think they’re either idiots or
that they’re deliberately trying to deceive their own people — or maybe a little of both.

A new study from the nonpartisan Center For Media Affairs has concluded that since the beginning of President Obama’s second term, Republicans
have lied three times more often than Democrats.

The Center For Media Affairs (CFMA) at George Mason University found that PolitiFact rated Republican claims as false three times more often than
Democratic claims. Not only do Republicans lie more often, but Democrats are more truthful. By a 2 to 1 margin (22%-11%) PolitiFact rated Democratic
statements as completely true. The CFMA also found that, “A majority of Democratic statements (54%) were rated as mostly or entirely true, compared
to only 18% of Republican statements. Conversely, a majority of Republican statements (52%) were rated as mostly or entirely false, compared to only
24% of Democratic statements. Despite controversies over Obama administration statements regarding Benghazi, the IRS and the Associated Press,
Republicans have continued to fare worse than Democrats, with 60% of their claims rated as false so far this month (May 1 – May 22), compared to 29%
of Democratic statements – a 2 to 1 margin.”

On this surface the fact that Republicans lie more than Democrats may appear obvious, but beyond the numbers this study confirms that lying is a major
component of Republican political strategy.

But keep this up guys, I am loving the lies you all are posting. Some of them are even true!

In some corners, impeachment talk is running high these days. Sarah Palin, the former Republican nominee for vice president,
wrote on her Facebook page on
July 8, 2014, that "it’s time" to impeach President Barack Obama.

But a claim that’s been making the rounds in the conservative blogosphere over the past few months is even more startling. It says that John
Roberts, the chief justice of the United States, has ordered Obama’s arrest for treason.

The claim appeared on numerous conservative websites in April and May, including here, here, here, here and here. In this item, we’ll check the
version of the
claim that appeared on May 1, 2014, in theuspatriot.com, a conservative website. (The website did not
respond to a query from PolitiFact.)

The headline of the post says, "BREAKING: Report Circulating That Justice John Roberts Signed Off On Obama’s Arrest For Treason."

I'm sure that the microsecond I post this Neo will run with it claiming it's true. (just kidding neo)

Now THATS a zombie lie!

edit on 17-7-2014 by HauntWok because: Please follow link for full link availability, I tried to do that but the amount
of BS was too much for ATS servers apparently.

"Obama regime planned the influx of illegal alien children at the border."

Ah Limbaugh, ATS people love him don't they? I get an email blast every day of the things that he says, then when I log onto ATS, lo and behold! There
are his words plain as day!

So far this year, over 47,000 children without their parents have shown up at the southern border and the government is scrambling to deal with
them. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson published an open letter in Spanish-language newspapers earlier this week, urging parents in El
Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras to stop sending their children north. House Speaker John Boehner formed a group of representatives to focus on the
surge of children migrants.

In a news conference, Boehner faulted President Barack Obama.

"We’re seeing a humanitarian disaster, one of the administration’s own making," Boehner said.
